Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 921: Chapter 921 I Don’t Intend to Rebel_1 Chapter 921: Chapter 921 I Don’t Intend to Rebel_1 Tong Tiehu paused for a moment and, seeing that Yang Wenxiao remained silent, continued, “Your Majesty the Retired Emperor, with today’s events, I, Gu Sheng, swear on my life that we brothers truly harbor no thoughts of rebellion.”

“Our mother left us brothers only a secret tunnel whose construction method we know not, and a treasure.”

“Now the secret tunnel remains, but the whereabouts of the treasure are unknown, and all of this truly lies beyond the control of us brothers.”

“All our lives, we brothers have followed the path laid out by our mother and father. Father wanted us brothers to earn our spurs, but he never did tell us specifically what to fight for.”

“My mother wanted us to follow our father’s last wishes, but she told us brothers nothing of how the secret tunnel was built, how the treasure was transported here, or what exactly happened back then. We brothers are completely in the dark.”

They weren’t even told the recipe for gunpowder, so what rebellion could they possibly plot?

To use their mortal flesh to stop the Yang Family’s bombs? They were not that foolish.

“All we brothers now desire is to live our remaining years in peace and wish only for the safety of our descendants. Beyond that, we truly have no other thoughts.”

With these words, Tong Tiehu fell silent.

Yang Wenxiao had prompted a response, and he had poured out his heart and soul, each word saturated with sincere emotion.

This was all he could say.

Whatever remained was left to fate.

Back then, what was it that their father wanted them brothers to fight for…

Tong Tiehu fell silent again, and the room returned to quiet. After a long period, so long that Tong Tiehu thought Yang Wenxiao had fallen back asleep, he spoke again, still with a question.

But this time, he asked Tong Sanlang.

“Tong Zhan, does your name signify a will to fight?”

Tong Sanlang respectfully answered, “I dare not deceive you. Indeed, my name carries the intent to battle.”

“From a young age, I was taught by our ancestor’s teachings to carry on our great-grandfather’s will, but my grandfather gave up the idea of rebellion early on. So, I too gave it up. I lived aimlessly until I was seventeen, not knowing one’s purpose in life until I met Qiao Xiaomai. All I wish for in this lifetime is to stay with her here in Anping Village and spend the rest of our days together.”

After these words, the room quieted once more.

This time, Yang Wenxiao truly fell asleep, and he slept for an entire hour.

The journey from the Capital City to Bailu Town was at a pace that matched the imperial couriers’ emergency delivery speed. They traveled day and night without rest, and he had just finished chastising Yang Wang. He was exhausted both in body and spirit.

Behind him was the soft bedding, and beneath him was the warm bed heated just right by the heat pit. Within this warm atmosphere, he couldn’t hold it any longer.

His consciousness blurred until he went to meet the Duke of Zhou in his dreams.

Tong Tiehu’s words just now were also deeply heartfelt.

Gu Yu wanted to fight for honor, to seize Mount Jiang. Instead of seeking out Fu Xuan, he targeted the Yang Family. Could it be that Gu Yu was aware of Liuli’s secret assistance?

If so, that would explain things.

It was he who first harbored inappropriate feelings towards Liuli. Gu Yu, upon learning of this, tore up the alliance and headed north alone. Later, he accidentally found out about Liuli saving him and giving him the gunpowder recipe, and it haunted him until his death.

The logic was clear; it must have been like this.

This was Gu Yu’s dying wish. Liuli, not wanting to go against his aspiration, relayed his exact words to the brothers Tong Tiehu and Yu Ang, inciting them to rebel.

But Liuli was a wise and extraordinary woman, seeing through to the heart of matters. She knew that with only these two brothers and a treasure trove, success would be unlikely, so she must have made her own plans in secret.

Ostensibly, she urged the brothers to rebel, but covertly, she helped eliminate those Aristocratic Families.

Poor Tong Tiehu and Yu Ang, these brothers.
